“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” – 1 John 1:5
This is the season when days get short and nights get long. Even during the day, light can be lacking in the winter season, especially as you go further north. And so, we light the candles of Advent, reminding ourselves of this unchanging and beautiful truth. God is light. His light is pure and perfect. It has no hint of the darkness of sin. God’s light never flickers or dims. Unlike a candle, His light can’t be blown out, either by accident or on purpose.
Better still, this perfect, eternal light entered our world to light the darkness. Jesus, the Son of God, came to be the light of the world! To bring us out of the darkness of fear, sin, despair, and death into God’s perfect light of love, grace, and truth. Whatever darkness you may find yourself in, know that it isn’t from God. In Him, there is no darkness at all. None! Whatever darkness you may find yourself in, God is the solution to that darkness. Let Jesus, the light of the world bring you out of that darkness, because “If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7). #FollowJesus
